Yahoo! has just upgraded their Maps Beta product. For end-users, you now have Satellite and Hybrid views. A major complaint from many users to date has been the lack of maps outside the US. They are now rolling out coverage across the globe, although from my tests the results are still pretty limited. For a couple of examples, check out:

• Hong Kong
• Stuttgart

For developers, several of the Map APIs have also been upgraded to Version 3. These include:

• Ajax Getting Started Guide
• ActionScript/Flash API Guide

Why it's taking so long for a killer mashup that integrates geotagged Flickr photos with Yahoo! Maps Beta is a mystery to me, although I can guess who is working on it. To stay up to date on the latest development news, join the Yahoo! Maps Developer Community.

There is never any need to get lost.
